Abstract: A handrail has a thermoplastic body having a generally C-shaped cross section, a stretch inhibitor in the thermoplastic body above a T-shaped slot and a slider fabric layer. The handrail includes first and second end portions, each comprising a forward part extending from an end surface of the end portion and a rear part adjacent the forward part. A method of forming a joint can include: providing cuts to separate a top section of the thermoplastic body from a base section including shoulder portions; for each end portion, removing at least shoulder portions from the forward part thereof, to leave a central portion including a forward part at the slider fabric layer and a layer of thermoplastic; cutting the forward parts to a required shape; and assembling the first and second end portions together to form a spliced joint for moulding.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for migrating data entities of a software service from one server instance to another server instance. A migration identifier data structure is created for migrating entities, the data structure including objects, for example in predefined name-value pairs, identifying associated entities within the software service for the migrating entities. A migration process evaluates the migration identifier data structures across migration stages to identify shared configuration between migration stages and/or missing migration entities.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes one or more instances of content. The method analyzes a context for a user account to select a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections. The themes in the plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tissue repair scaffold comprising a knitted body, wherein the knitted body is made of a yarn comprising polycaprolactone (PCL), and the knitted body comprises a plurality of apertures that remain open when the scaffold is stretched under load. The scaffold is particularly adapted for tendon repair. The present invention also relates to a tissue repair device comprising the scaffold, and a method of making the scaffold.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method selects a context for a user account and selects a plurality of collections for an interface. A collection includes a set of videos. The method selects a theme from a plurality of themes for a collection in the plurality of collections based on the context. The plurality of themes apply different display formats to the collection. The method sends an identifier for the theme and information for the collection to a client device being used by the user account to indicate to the interface the theme to use to display the collection with the plurality of collections.

Abstract: The present invention is a cable made from a braided polyethylene terephthalate cable sleeve. Inside the cable sleeve is a sequence of four shielding layers; a braided copper wire layer, a braided silver-plated copper wire layer, and two braided carbon fiber layers. Within the fourth shielding layer is a polytetrafluoroethylene inner sleeve containing a particulate aerogel dielectric, with an approximate particle diameter from 2 micrometers to 1.2 millimeters, and a conductive metal core with a mirror polish.

Abstract: A transaction processing system includes a transaction processing module configured to receive first information associated with a first proposed transaction, retrieve second information associated with at least one prior transaction that is associated with the first proposed transaction, and calculate a time-decayed algorithm using the second information to generate third information. The transaction processing system also includes a weighting module communicably coupled to the transaction processing module, wherein the weighting module is configured to receive the third information from the neural-based processing module, apply a weighting factor to the third information to generate fourth information, and calculate at least one processing algorithm using the first information and the fourth information to generate an output. The output of the weighting module is used by an additional transaction processing module to determine whether the first proposed transaction is fraudulent.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for training a machine learning model to select a route for performing tasks in a target set of inventory tasks. The machine learning model may be trained by obtaining training data sets that include characteristics of previously performed tasks by one or more task performers. Example characteristics may include locations associated with the previously performed tasks, a duration of time taken to perform the previous tasks, a route taken to perform the tasks, a sequence in which tasks a set of tasks were performed, and attributes of the task performers themselves. The machine learning model may be trained using these training data sets and the applied to a received set of target tasks. The trained machine learning model may then generate a route and/or sequence in which the tasks of the target set of tasks may be performed.

Abstract: In a handrail including a carcass, a stretch inhibitor within the carcass, and a sliding layer bonded to the carcass, at least a portion of the carcass has a gas phase dispersed in a solid polymer matrix. The gas phase can reduce a density of the carcass by at least 5% or 10%, or about 15%, as compared to a density of the polymer matrix. The carcass can have a generally uniform distribution of gas bubbles in the polymer matrix, which can define a generally closed cell structure in the polymer matrix. The gas phase can be formed of particles of a syntactic foam dispersed in the polymer matrix. The handrail can further include a cover. The carcass and the cover can be formed of thermoplastic materials, and the cover can represent between 10 and 30% of the overall TPU required for the handrail.
